Talons Program Science 9 and English 9 Final Exam

Grade nine learners researched, wrote, presented and recorded 6 to 10 minute TED Talks–their final exam for English 9 and Science 9 this year. They share their understanding of a topic of choice connected to science 9 and/or science 10 learning outcomes, demonstrating their research and presentation skills learned in class during this past year. Powerpoint slides, video clips and/or a hands-on demo are added to illustrate their topic. As part of this project, they listened to five TED talks preferably related to their chosen field and learned how TED talks are structured and presented. After having posted their own TED talks, they will comment on at least five of their peers’ TED talks, learning about five additional topics as well as furthering the discussion by leaving comments. You find links to their posted TED talks below. Please feel free to provide additional questions in the comment section of each edublog.
